THIS IS MY COLUMN!

(or well, maybe more of a top layer of cake)

Cake yum...

Weeell, lets us move on to the summary (shall we?)

Naruto finally got what he wanted, respect, Sasuke, Sakura and even becoming the successor to fifth Hokage. But in a matter of strange events, Naruto leaves the village and breaks every ones heart at the same time. Naruto was gone for good, but becoming something greater even so.

And that's about all I got right now :P

Story START!

The bottles that used to pelt the boy now waved at him in respect. Naruto just waved back at the stores that no longer chased him away, walking to his large apartment.

Unlike his smaller, destroyed apartment Naruto had bought a better one when he completed the first B rank mission that was ever given to a genin. Of course, he was a chuunin now and extremely close to a jonin (taking the test tomorrow).

The apartment was simple, a living room at the door, leading off to the kitchen and dining room. Then, a long hallway leading to the bathroom, guest room and main bedroom.

Sakura was making dinner when Naruto walked in the door, she smiled and hugged him tightly. Unfortunately, Sakura is much stronger than she thinks.

"Oww! Sakura-Chan!" Naruto managed to cough out and Sakura dropped him quickly, "Naruto-Kun? Naruto!"

Naruto healed from his crumpled state quickly and brought Sakura close to him, kissing her.

Sakura and Naruto had brought back Sasuke two years ago, a year after Sakura gave up on him. They started dating the same year and Sasuke eventually got the stick out of his butt and finally asked Yuki out. (A/N: Yuki is NOT and OC! Just some random name I came up with, do with it as you like) Everything was falling into place, perfectly.

Sakura reluctantly broke the kiss and tried to keep the rice from burning as Naruto set the table, His laugh flooding the kitchen.

Sakura hit him over the head with her spoon, "come on, give me a break here Naruto-Kun!" Naruto looked away from the puppy eye look, being the master of it anyway.

Sakura gave up on him and they both ate dinner in peace, talking about other random topics.

Naruto washed the dishes as Sakura got ready for bed, chewing on his last piece of beef thoughtfully. Yes, thoughtfully and yes, Naruto. He had been discovered a genius after tricking Shikamaru during a spar and again, surprising everyone.

Hinata also got over the Naruto and Sakura couple and began to date Kiba. Ino ended up with Chouji, Shino asked Mao (A/N: again not an OC! Just and name, she will not be in the story) and Shikamaru moved to Suna to be with his fiance, Temari.

Naruto finished the dishes and walked into the large bedroom, trying not to wake Sakura in the process. "I'm sorry Sakura-Chan."

He climbed into bed quietly and sleep drifted into his mind, nightmares beginning to form.

"monster."

"demon"

"brat"

Insults flew at him from all directions, the Konoha twelve shouting them. A mob formed around the powerful ninja and Sakura stepped forward, tears streaming down an angry face.

"why Naruto-Kun?" Sakura whispered and Kiba quickly caught her in a death grip, slitting her throat.

Naruto tried to scream, but they only poured acid down his throat. (A/N: Where they even thought of using acid I don't know)

The hatred grew with the mob and Naruto began to become overwhelmed, "stop, STOP!"

He protested and shouted at a few of the villagers but to his avail, Naruto was forced to run away from the city.

Tress and bushes whipped by him almost on purpose, " You see what this means, Naruto?"

The younger man stopped dead in his tracks and spun around to find a wasteland of dead bodies. Sakura lay on top of the pile, her glazed eyes looking into the sky.

The sky turned into a dark red, the bodies crumbling into the dust.

"You can't run" The voice boomed.

Naruto began to shout out at the air, trying to find who this person was.

"Why are you showing me this? Well!" Naruto shouted, falling to his knees.

"You are dangerous, Konoha is only holding you back." Naruto snapped his head up to the fountain that sprayed down onto his neck.

The water was burning but even though, the water hissed when it touched his skin.

Naruto looked down at the pool he was now standing in, sorrow filling up his gut.

"You killed them! I loved her I-"

Naruto was cut off by the loud voice, the sound booming in his ears.

"YOU NEVER DID!"

The dream state began to shake, the voice yelling at him even more.

All of the Konoha twelve joined in, Sakura's voice becoming louder and louder.

The fountain began to fall apart, breaking like a mirror.

"You know the truth Naruto! If you stay here, you will never become a true ninja! You will never have respect! You will never find love! Because they are holding you back! Because you ARE a-"

The voice was cut off suddenly, leaving Naruto in the dark.

A childs voice whispered in his ear and sent chills down his spine as the ground began to shake again.

"Monster"

"Demon"

"Brat"

Narutos eyes snapped open in fear, cold sweat running down his face and into his eyes. He groaned and sat up in the moonlight, Sakura shifting slightly in the bed.

The mans' eyes widened when he remembered the dream, it flooded his memory like a plague and Naruto automatically began to start packing his backpack.

"Good Bye, Sakura."

Sakura yawned and crawled out of bed in half-slumber. She knew Naruto wasn't usually here in the mornings and was used to it fully.

Of course, the thing she wasn't used to was waking up to was Sasuke staring down at her with a tragic expression.

"What the HELL Sasuke?!" Sakura yelled and felt dizzy, falling back on the bed again.

Sasuke put a hand up to help her and handed her a note.

"This was found in Hokage-Samas office at 6:00 AM this morning, along with Narutos battered headband."

Sakura felt like a nail was stabbed into her chest, she snatched the note before asking a question.

"Wait, why am I included in this?" Sakura asked, putting her hands in a prayer motion.

Sasuke lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke lightly, making Sakura cough.

"Because it was addressed to you." Sakura usddenly felt dizzy again and had to blink tears out of her eyes.

Sakura

You are holding me back. Everyone is. I'm sorry I led you on to belive that I loved you.

Naruto

Sakura nearly choked and read the note over and over. "He... Lied to me? Why?" Sakura whispered to herself, she had truly loved the smiling Naruto.

Everyone had searched for Naruto, it had been going on for three years. For the first month, Sakura just sat in their bed and grieved.

She couldn't get up due to something that was found in her second moth.

Sakura was pregnant.

Well, that's my first chapter :)

First of all, Sasuke DOES smoke and he actually has emotions.

I will post this chapter and most likely will be posting new ones throught this week till Monday (because that is when school starts again T.T)

Then I will most likely be posting chapters every Sunday or Saturday

Next chapter;

(After Timeskip of ten years) Sakura has become a single mother and Naruto finally shows his face again, but he isn't the Naruto he once was.
